Bechtel has announced a number of changes to its executive leadership, which will be effective 1 September 2016. The current CEO, Bill Dudley, will become the Vice-Chairman of Bechtel Group Inc. The current President and COO, Brendan Bechtel, will succeed Dudley as CEO. Finally, the President of Bechtel’s Oil, Gas and Chemicals (OG&C) business, Jack Futcher, will become the President and COO of Bechtel Group Inc.

Riley Bechtel, the Chairman of the Board, said: “I am delighted to announce these changes that further strengthen our company and puts in place a dedicated and experienced executive leadership team that will drive us forward as we continue to innovate, re-tool and consistently deliver for our customers and colleagues.

"This is a natural evolution in our company and the result of diligent succession planning and execution."

Brendan Bechtel, the fifth-generation family member to serve as the company’s CEO, said: “I am especially honoured and humbled by this election just a few weeks after we celebrated my grandfather's 75 years of continuous service to Bechtel. Representing the fifth-generation of family leadership at this remarkable company is a unique responsibility.

"I look forward to continuing the family's legacy started by my great-great-grandfather in 1898, and most importantly, working with our strong team of committed and capable leaders to guide Bechtel into the future.”

Riley Bechtel said: “Bill has been a dynamic leader for our company as CEO and previously as President and COO, where he was pivotal to Bechtel achieving a decade of extraordinary growth. I look forward to his continued contributions to the company as Vice-Chairman. Further, Jack and Brendan are the right team to provide strong leadership in support of the very capable team they have developed as we approach a period of volatility in our markets.

“Today, I am both a proud father and confident chairman with Brendan coming in as CEO. He is highly qualified to become, and will be superb as, the next CEO."
